I considers the logging/lumber issue as initially I thought much better to mulch the trees to increase soil levels and replant but not sure how that would net out carbon wise.

But in the case of houses, you have these costs, but you also offsetting bricks and concrete etc. This also has a huge carbon production but without the offset. Also increasingly the logging and transport will be cleaner as EVs advance.

And yes buildings will be hauled to landfill, but that's timber in landfill and burying carbon for some time too.

Would be interesting for someone to run the numbers on actual impact.
